Best Sports Bar: Big Dog’s

Yes, the North Rancho outpost caters to Packers fans (cheeseheads, consider this your second home come September), but even casual fans will find both locations welcome spots to cheer, with a bustling bar, huge portions and
some of the best locally brewed beer around. 6390 W. Sahara Ave., 876-3647; 4543 N. Rancho Dr., 645-1404. Open 24/7.
